Damian Cunningham (Etel), a deeply spiritual young boy in the United Kingdom, is dealing with his Mother's recent death. He is frequently visited by his favorite saints, who advise him on how to do good in his community. When a bag holding over £200,000 Sterling falls from the sky onto his backyard fort, he assumes it to be a gift from God. His pragmatic brother Anthony (McGibbon) convinces him not to tell anyone else (for tax purposes), and Damian sets about trying to do good with the found money, giving it to charities and the poor. When he finds that the money was actually stolen, he worries that the source of the money taints all of the good deeds done with the money. The film takes place in the weeks leading up to the decommission of the British Pound for the Euro, after which the found money will become worthless.
